keep it PC

It isn’t just people. They will also eat deer.

Post millennial crusades

I wonder what the revision of this song would look like.

Works for me, as long as I’m not the person.

Sorry, “person” could be offensive to some. Like the “whatever” that now believes it’s a female dragon; and went through the surgeries to prove it. It now calls itself the "most modified transgender person in the world.” Ahhh, the new normal.

Why not peopleeater? Oh yeah, it doesn’t have one eye, one horn, isn’t purple and can’t fly.

“First we will have to prove it will eat someone else; that’s why you are here, dear.”

Sign of the times.

I am PC and there is a purpose to it. Most of the times, the accommodation can be made easily, but it can be taken to hilarious extents.

Dear Sir and/or Madam as the case may be, is kind of a clumsy way to start a letter.

My pet peeve is African-American (or any other -American). Not every person of apparent African descent is an American or even want’s to be an American. The person could be African-Canadian or African-Mexican or African-Chinese or, now get this, just plain African!

I have a friend who used to fit this category. Today, I guess you can call her African-American, because she is now a citizen.

I’m OK with just being called an American. People don’t feel compelled to call me Polish-Irish-American. To make a distinction for other than European-looking Americans is somehow racist to me.

I completely agree! We’re all Americans.

I like our language the way it was. I don’t need no stinking “correctness” so that we don’t somehow offend someone. Read the book “1984”, it’ll scare you to death.

How about just meat eater or carnivore?

How about: DUMBASSES WILL BE DIGESTED.

does that mean that is his daily diet, or he has eaten one?

Good choice else you might be getting notices from Sheb Wooley lawyers about copyright problems with “The Purple People Eater” song.

Must’ve ate a woman who took the sign too literally.

Makes sense.

Must be a Democrat.

Given the choice, tigers would prefer to eat would prefer to eat antelope since humans don’t taste that good. So my cannibal friends tell me

“…but in the absence of antelope, you’ll do.”

How about non-gender specific eater.

How about they or them eater

For as long ago as this panel was originally published, I am surprised the joke can still rile people up. It probably didn’t, back then. But then I bet a lot of people weren’t sure if they ‘got’ the joke or not

It’s a humanitarian, just like Hannibal Lecter.

Hall & Oates aren’t gonna like that one.

Does it really matter?

This morning I went down to the personbox to see if the personperson left me any person.

Watch out, boy, she’ll chew you up! Oh, oh, here she comes, she’s a maneater.

I’ve mentioned before, not sure if it was this comic or not- a list of terms that would have to changed to accommodate the PC nonsense included changing “lineman” to “line maintenance person”, which would have really screwed up Glenn Campbell’s song: “I’m just a line maintenace person for the county…”

PerSON – son spells the word for a MALE. Haven’t the PC obliviots worked that out yet?
